Emotional Wellness
- Rendering the Ouch of Thorns into the Awe of Poetry
The first page of this blog is dedicated to all the Muses who in the midst of toils and turmoils stop us in our chaotic tracks to amuse us with a smile and a pearl from the debth of our eXperience, touching us in some magic way with compassion and understanding. My Be and Be WELL house mate, friend and muse Lakshmi does that for me with her poetry. She puts so many of my erratic emotions into pristine poetry, allowing me to look at their mirror reflections to see them with new eyes….
And more than that, her soulful artistic help as my website designer contributed much to my Emotional (and digital) Wellness! Feel free to click on her PoeTree Blog when you have a little time, or add your own poetic mirror reflections in the comment field below. Your soulful contributions are very much appreciated by all!
This blog is full of magic portals that link into a WELL of information. Just click on the words that are highlighted in COLOR and off you go down the rabbit hole to find another treasure!
- Poetry: Where Heaven and Hell walk Hand in Hand…
An Ode to the Candle Maker from the darker side, when the sun shines bleakly and the nights are long and cold:
Food for the Soul
Tears wax dripping to the spiritual flame
Burning, burning away our shame
At the end of age, we carry along
A history of hate and wisdom’s song
Some things right, so many wrong…
But the dream of innocence is born again.
It grows in hearts prepared by pain.
We light many new candles from the old
We gather our selves back into the fold…
For within our wicked world is a wick
~A l w a y s D a n c i n g~
To the Flame of Eternal Love…
From Lakshmi Narayan, a WELL Woman

Food for the Soul
I don’t like to lunge at solutions when a problem arises.
I tease and chase the solution
I feel that if I just leave it unformed
or forming and just be watchful
then there is space
for the right solution to emerge
Sometimes the right solution is dissolution
Disillusion. This solution.
This is a good kind of peeling back.
Seeing with the eyes of truth requires
Courage
And the willingness
To peel back the layers of protective
Mediocre thinking
That has made many generations
Degenerate
Into living sluggish lives.
What poisons of compromise
Did you swallow and stuff in?
How many hungry ghosts live in your intestines?
In order to stay liminal and illuminated
One must eliminate
Everything that does not belong
In the Alimentary Canal.
Elementary my dear Watson.
Welcome, super, wounderful site. I am also leading one’s and I know how hard it is. Your entries are great, although not always I agree with them, but in spite of that I will visit your blog more often. I wish you the success and the perseverance in running the site, Alice
“The tongue of the Invisible” Hafis the Persian Mystic greet me this morning in his book; “The Gift”, with these beautiful, true and good poems:
NO CONFLICT
No
Conflict
When the flute is playing
For then I see every moment emanates
From God’s
Holy
Dance
in THE SUBURB
Complaints
are
only possible
if any
While living in the suburbs of God.

This blog is an invitation for YOU to write about THE OTHER side… have at it!
